I., assignor to Hemphill Company, Central Falls, R.'I.,' a corporation of Massachusetts i v Original application February 6,1943, Serial No. 475,020. Divided and this application Apr-i125, 1944, Serial No. 532.589 I i Thi case .is a division of application Serial #475,020, filed February 6, 1943, which is a con tinuation as to all common subject matter of application Serial #443,083, filed May 15, 1942.

This case relates to a circular, independent needle type knitting machine adapted to knit fabric having raised patterns and in addition thereto, a. true wrap pattern, these serving tcimemploying the two feeds, but as plai fabric.If,

two differently colored yarns are fed at "these opposite feeds, the plain areas Wouldhave al ternating courses knitted from the differently colored yarns. To avoid that, applicant feeds-two Q yarns at the so-called main feeding stationand' reverse plates there at plain areas, the additional yarn fed being of a, color and-type to match the auxiliary yarn and to reverse plate themainyarn. This makes it possibleto knit plain or depressed areas of one color, raised areas of a different color and to wrap with a still different color or colors as desired. Preferably the wrapping is done at the raised or face portions of the patterned fabric rather than at the so-called plain parts. That is not entirely essential and wrapping. may be done at the plain areas, although atthose areas, the wrap pattern would appear at those courses knitted at the main side only.

Now referring to the figures of the drawings, one specific form of the invention will be de-" scribed. The machine is of aty|pe adapted to knit seamless hosiery and has a cylinder I rotatable in i the usual way upon a circular base 2. This cylinder has the usual latch needles and sinkers functioning with those needles, said needles being carried in a sinker head3 above which. is a sinker cam cap 4. A carrier ring 5 is pivoted at 6 on a post 1. Asin Fig.- 3, this carrier ring has a plurality of yarn feeding levers 8 pivoted in an extension 9 to the carrier ring and these yarn feeding levers are controlled tofeed and change yarns as in United States Patent No. 933,443..

Upon a cam'plate lfland-at the right hand side of the machine, are mounted the usual needle cams such as effect stitch drawing in this type of machine. Those cams are not shown in detail, but will be described more specifically with reference to Fig. 29.

-Wrap yarns are to be fed to certain selected needles by mechanism such as illustrated ,and described in United States Patent #1.702,608 and in this case the only part of that mechanism be moved away from the cylinde when no wrap pattern is to be formed.

The drum 2 has a plurality of discs fixed thereto, each of said discs having frangible butts 36, it being understood that these butts may be broken off according to any desired pattern. All of the butts are shown intact here since this matter of setting up a pattern is one which a skilled knitter or knitting machine can do. The drum is ratcheted periodically by mechaand a link 39. The link 39 connects to other mechanism all of which is shown here since it is adequately described in the patent to which ref- 1 erence is made.

A series of plungers 40 (shown more clearly in Fig- 14) and guided within a bracket generally shown is a wrap yarn feeding spindle ll, disc I2 and eyelets l3 through which the several wrap yarns are threaded-and fed. At the side of the circular base 2 a spindle I4 is rotatable and is driven-by gears l5 and I6, Fig. 5-, and through other gearing .(not shown) serves to rotate the spindle I lat a 1 x 1 ratio with the needle cylinder. Spindle i4 is guided in a bearing in bracket, l1, said bracket extending upwardly as a post Iilto support other elements of the wrap mechanism all as shown in the patent just above mentioned. 1 v

The circular base 2,.is attached at the upper side of the usual frame l9, Fig. 5,- and that-frame has rotatable in suitable bearings a main cam shaft 26 upon which are drums 2| and 22, Fig.

9 This cam ,shtftmakes one .revolution for each knitted stocking produced and thefusual cams along with other cams later to. be described, control the various functions of the machine. The only cams necessarily described here are those which affect feeding of-the'auxiliary yarn also control the pattern means at. the back of the machine for the raised part of the fabric. e

At the front of the circular base 2 is attached a bracket 23 and that bracket carries a pattern drum 24 rotatable on a spindle 25. The spindle 25 is really supported within an arm 26 pivoted on the bracket at 21 and guided at its other end by a shoulder screw 28 extended through a slot 29. A spring 30 is attached to the bracket and to the arm 26 and serves to pull that arm inwardly against an adjustable stop screw 3|. A lever 32 pivots at 33 and by means of a connecting lever 34 and, link 35, the drum 24 may indicated by numeral 4!, are contacted by the butts 36 and are moved inwardly or outwardly to and from the needle cylinder in accordance with the set up of the pattern. These plungers engage selecting butts such as the butt 42 or 43, Fig. 14, on jacks 44 and serve to select those jacks by imparting a short vertical movement thereto. Each jack has a master butt 45 the purpose of which will be described more fully as the disclosure progresses. The cam-ended plunger 46 works upon a butt at the upper end of one-half of the jacks (those at the sole side of the machine) and make it possible to pattern in the instep while making the sole of the stocking plain. This cam is drawn inwardly by a spring 41 and is moved out by a lever 48 pivoted at 49 and which hooks against a projection 50 at about the central part of the plunger. Link 48 connects to the lever 48 and controls knitting an unpatterned sole from suitable cams (not shown).

At; the back of the machine and on the left handside, mechanism is provided by means of which the needle jacks areselected to produce a I x 1 simulated rib top and also for the purpose of producing the raised fabric pattern throughout the leg and foot or other desired areas of a fabric. That jack selection is brought about by a pattern a second group of levers 51, these levers having their inner ends so constructed as to engage the butts 42 to raise jacks 44 as they are selected preparatory to causing their needles to take the auxiliary yarn. Upon being selected, the-jacks move vertically until their master butts 45 contact a master cam 58 whereupon the needles are raised to clearing and yarn taking height. After being raised up cam 58, the butts 45 engage and are drawn down by a cam 59, these cams beingbetter shown in a diagrammatic view, Figs. 19 and 29. 1

"The drum 5| and mechanism appurtenant thereto are mounted on a swingin bar 60, Figs. 23and 24, that bar pivoting at 6| and being urged by a spring 62 in a direction to engage the toe ends of the levers 53. A stop screw 64 is adjustable and limits movement of the bar 50 as the drum;moves to active position. To move that Springs 56' no. matter what the position ofthe drum.

As shown in Figs. 1,3, 15 and 1:6,the topmost. one of the levers 53 is specially eontrolledby a To drum outwardly. a bell, crank lev vlii conn cted to a link 5 is actu tedas shownin Figs; 23, 24; and 2t and by means of connectins nkaee and cams on the drum 2| all as will '!be described in detail in: a a er para raph. "The. drum '5! rtates on. a spindle 6]. and. is 'ratcheted by means of pawls fi a d fiil. l and 17, those pawls being pivoted at "I. 011 a; plate ll having armsn and 13.

A link 'l'l connects to the arm :72 and then ex-. tends across connecting to a bell crank lever 18,- Fig. 4, one arm of which engages behind the lever 19. This lever "79'is contacted by certain cams on the 104-tooth gear and is thereby periodically moved to and fro to impart ratcheting movement to the front drum later to be described;

that same motion being availed of to ratchet this drum 5|. The lever 19 and its motion from the 10.4-tooth gear are fully described in United States Patent #2211385. i j

This drum 5| is retimed-at appropriate-intervals by mechanism shown in Figs. 3, 15 and 17. The ratchet wheel has one short tooth 88 and the pawls 68 and 68 which are normally urged inwardly against the ratchet wheel teeth may be drawn outwardly bymean's of a detent 8| connected to a bent bracket 82. The detent 8| con tacts pins 83 and 84, the pin 83 projecting from the top pawl 69 and the'pintl from the lower pawl 68.

During the knitting of the heel; drum" 5| is stopped entirely and does not start again until the I heel is finished and the foot commences. At that time both paWlS are completely out of contact with ratchet wheel teeth'as shown in Fig. 15, and also, the t e nem is p ed y eans shownin-Figs. B1an'd32.

I v

I 'Now, referring to Figs- 4 and 12, the drum controls plating and reverse plating through certain mechanismin the sinker cam cap 4. This drum I has'a series of discs, each of which has a, plurality of butts I2I' which are removable and whereby-a pattern is set up on the drum for controlling the position of a series of plungers' I22. These plungers I22 contact butts on jacks I23, and those jacks'; in turn, control the position of sinkers I 24, all as described in'United States-Patent #1052377 I v "The plungers I22 are slidablein abracket I25 which is attached to the circular base of the machine, and each of these plungers has a spring I26 by means of which it is' held outwardly away from the butts on jacks I23 except as moved inwardly bythe appropriate discs on'drum l20. The drum I20 is rotatable on a movable bar I21, that said bar being capable of swinging about the pivot point I28 and having an elongated 'arrn I29 to which" is attached a lever I30. This lever I30 con nects through to certain controlling mear'iswhefe bythe drummay be moved outwardly and the plated and reverse plated control thereby render ed'inactive. f

The drum I20 is racked periodically by pawls generally indicated by numeral I3I and which are spring pressed by springs I32 to engage a ratchet 'wheel I33 all as d'escribedin the patent just'ab'ove mentioned; The mechanism for that purpose which is illustrated; here includes the movable lever'19 before referred to, a connecting link I34, thepawls I3I and ratchet wheel I33. Retiming'mechanismis'also provided, but is not shown here since the same is described in United States Patent #2,052,7'77 and in other patents.

'Now referring to Figs. 6, 7; 8'and9, the auxiliary yarn designated by a is fed through a yarn feeding finger I35' which 'sli des' vertically in a small cros'shead-136. This finger I35 is moved by a lever I31 pivotedat I38 and connected by means of a depending link I 39 to certain cams onlthescamdrum 22. Thislink I39 is'guided in a bracket' I'40 and =is-engagedby cams I4I and I 42, F'ig; 27.. The link I39 is forked at its upper end to'jengage about'the outer end of the lever I31 and is alsovforked' at the inner end to engage a pin-I43. I. a l

'In Figs. '20, 21 and 22,'a yarn binder for the auxiliary yarn is mounted on a bracket I44 and includes binder" elements "I45 and I 46; The element I45 is movable and is held upwardly or in closed-position-by means of a spring I41 except when opened bymovement' 'of lever I48 also pivoted at I'38.-- The lever I48-a1s0 projects to the other side of the pivoted end and is engaged by the, forked-end of a second'vertically disposed link I49. That link projects downwardlyrto beguided bythe element I40and contacts certain cuts'that yarn and binds it in aknown manner. The fixed binder-element I46 of the binder is pressed by means of a spring I53 against the movable blade I45. V v

Spring I41 maintains the cutter and binder in closed position and forces the link I49 downward- 13/ against the cams on the drum. A spring I54 connects to the outer end of lever I31 and to a fixed point'on the supporting bracket and likewise, moves that lever' I31 and the bar I39 so as to withdrawn the auxiliary yarn from feeding position and maintain the bar down against its cams on the drum. All of this mechanism is supported on a bracket I55 which is in turn secure The purpose of this is to make sure that there will be no eyelet when the yarn goes in and when it comes out, the firstbeing at the: close 0f-the-heel and the second at the'start of the toe The cams which actuate the binder and cutter function as follows: Cam I50 opens vthebinder and cutter to allow the auxiliary yarn to be introduced to'the needles at the start of the top. Cam I5I opens that binder and cutter so as to take the auxiliary yarn and-cut and clamp it after finishing the leg and upon entering the heel of the stocking. Thenatthe start ofthe foot cam I 52 causes the cutter and binderto open so that the yarn will;be,introducedto the needlesthen holds thoseelements open so that upon; completion of theheel, theyarn will be taken as shown in Fig.22 and cut and clamped. Referring to Fig. 29, cams, feeding ,means,

pathways of needle hooks, needle butts and jack butts are shown. The needles I50 have butts I59 and at the left of the figure, those butts are moving along in'the pathway I60 as they are guided by the raise cam IBI. Jacks are leveled as the master butts 45 are raised above cam, I62.

: Then as those jacksare selected corresponding needles are raised to take the auxiliary 'yarn, such selecting being accomplished as some one of the butts 42 or 43 engages a1 selecting'plunger 51.

Thereafter jacks are immediately moved down wardly by cam 59 whilestitch cam 90 draws all needles down, the yarn abeing knitted by those needles which took it in their hooks. It is floated behind other needles. The level 154 for the needle butts is such that'latches are cleared preparatory to taking the new yarn.

After passing the auxiliary feeding and'knitting point needle butts are again raised to a point I60 by raise cam I65. At the plungers 40, a second selection takes place and master cam I66 will raise selected jacks so that J-corresponding' needles are-elevated to a point where butts pass along in pathway I61.

.That is a wrap level and the hooks. of those needles reach the pathway I68 taking wrap yarn w fed. by eyelets such as the eyelet I3 in disc l2. Preparatory tobeing selected a cam I69 After this preliminary selecting movement, master butts are engaged by cams 58 and the levels jacks and the topinstep earn: 110 were I needle butts providing some of those butts rfiiht be riding above cam I65. The earn l'lfl ex'terids horizontally atI'II and then terminates in a earn point I'IZ the latter acting to move was needles down so that they will first engage the front stitch cam I73 to be raised slightly before pass ing under "center guard cam m. e ndIF selected needles ride along above cam I15 and engage the front stitch cam thereby being raised to clear their latches The needles selected to be wrapped would have cleared theirlatches prior to being wrapped. All needles take the main yarn or yarns m fed by one of the main yarn levels 8. needles are drawn down as their butts move down the rear stitch cam I16. I The center raise camJIIIII Iperfor'ms the usual function. I All jacks are lowered by cam I15. I

I ii knitting fabric according to the method and with the machine herein described, two yarns are preferably fed at the main feeding station and one of those yarns is so selected as to match in color arid appearance the auxiliary yarn a.

At'tlie' plair'i areas, so-called that matching yarn After taking that yarn, those described with respect toFig. 12 provides for I fabric is illustrated, and in which the knitting I I ruiistfrom the bottom to the top of the figure; I course I18 is knittedat the auxiliary side and fromthe yarn a. In the so-called raisedor face areas-,that yarn is knitted at alternate wales' and floatsas at I'I9 behind intermediate wales. :IThe

wales I80, I8I, I82, I83 and I84 are so knitted as to constitute a raised or face area-1 of the fabric. At the next course I85, and at raised areas,

' the" maiiiyarn m is knitted at 'each W'ale and-is plated over a second yarn knittedat the main feeding station and which matchesw Iyarma inso far 'as color or appearance goes. That plating yarri is designated as yarn a and is ofabo'utthe samesiz'e as yarn m so that when reverseplating takes place the yarn m will be covered orhiddeh. I At the wales I86, I81 and I88, aIso-calIdIplain area which appears at alower level as compared to the face area, is formed by knittingIyarnsw at each alternatecturse and yarns m and a' at intermediate courses. At these areas the yarn w reverse plates so as to cover Ithe Iyarn' m.
